This study experimentally investigated the use of admixtures in concrete mixtures. Specifically, it examined partially replacing cement with fly ash and sand with stone dust. Concrete cubes were prepared with 15% replacements and tested at various ages. The results showed that stone dust concrete achieved compressive strengths close to normal concrete, with less than 5% reduction. Fly ash concrete saw reductions of around 10-15% in compressive strength compared to normal concrete. Both admixtures saw strength development over time. The study concluded that partial replacements of 15% are suitable for achieving strength in concrete mixtures.
Comparative Strength Studies of Recycled Aggregate Concrete and Fresh Concrete civej
The waste generated during the construction and demolition activities include sand, gravel, concrete, bricks, metal, plastic, glass etc. This construction and demolition waste is mainly disposed in landfills. Recycling and reuse of this waste will result in preservation of natural resources, effective utilization of growing waste stream, saving landfill space. This paper discusses the utilization of recycled aggregates as coarse aggregates in the preparation of concrete. In the present study, fresh concrete and recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) cubes are prepared and tested for compressive strength at the end of 7th, 14th and 28th days curing. The results are compared for both the types of concrete.
Compressed stabilized earth blocks (CSEBs) are earthen bricks created through compression in hand or hydraulic machines. CSEBs have a dry compressive strength of 3-6 MPa after 28 days, with higher strengths after longer periods. They have a density of 1700-2000 kg/cum and water absorption of 8-12% after immersion. CSEBs require less energy and are more cost effective than fired clay bricks or concrete blocks for construction. Machines for CSEB production cost around 73,500 Nu in Bhutan and 69,800 Rs in India, and can produce around 500 blocks per day. CSEBs are a relevant, sustainable construction material that should be adopted where possible.

The document provides a literature review on the properties of concrete with fractional replacement of recycled coarse aggregates. It discusses 3 main points:
1) Several studies have shown that replacing natural coarse aggregates with recycled concrete aggregates can reduce the compressive strength of concrete, but treating recycled aggregates with water and acid can improve strengths.
2) Other studies found that replacing sand with copper slag as a fine aggregate and using recycled concrete aggregates as coarse aggregates can increase compressive strength up to 30% replacement.
3) The literature review concludes that compressive strength generally increases with higher quality recycled aggregates and copper slag, and workability increases with more copper slag. Strengths are also improved by the hardness of recycled aggregates and copper slag.

IRJET - Experimental and Analytical Study on High Strength Concrete (M70)...IRJET Journal
This document presents the results of an experimental study on high-strength concrete (M70) using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). Tests were conducted to determine the effect of different percentages (10%, 20%, 30%) of coarse RCA on the concrete's compressive strength, durability, and engineering properties. The results showed that replacement of up to 30% coarse RCA had no effect on concrete strength, but higher percentages led to gradual strength reductions. However, with adjustments to the water-cement ratio, high-strength concrete with RCA can achieve equivalent performance to concrete with natural aggregates. The study aims to establish RCA concrete as a viable and sustainable construction material.

An Experimental Investigation on Strength Characteristics of Concrete with Pa...ijsrd.com
One of the approaches in improving the durability of concrete is to use blended cement materials such as fly ash, silica fume, slag and more recently, metakaolin. By changing the chemistry and microstructure of concrete, pozzolans reduce the capillary porosity of the cementitious system and make them less permeable to exterior chemical sources as well as reducing the internal chemical incompatilities such as alkali-silica reaction. The concrete industry is known to leave an enormous environmental footprint on Planet Earth. First, there are the sheer volumes of material needed to produce the billions of tons of concrete worldwide each year. Then there are the CO2 emissions caused during the production of Portland cement. Together with the energy requirements, water consumption and generation of construction and demolition waste, these factors contribute to the general appearance that concrete is not particularly environmentally friendly or compatible with the demands of sustainable development. Thus, use of these supplementary cementitious materials can reduce the effects of cement causing severe environmental impact. This study presents the results of different mechanical properties of concrete such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural concrete by partially replacing cement with metakaolin and silica fume. The replacement of metakaolin is varied from 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% and silica fume from 6%, 8% and 10%. The property of concrete in fresh state that is the workability is also studied during the present investigation. The optimum doses of silica fume and metakaolin in combination were found to be 6% and 15% (by weight) respectively, when used as part replacement of ordinary Portland cement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
